I have decided to change the look of my front cover for my digipak, mainly because I am no longer fond of the previous one. My new cover will be this;﻿

I feel that this picture has a much better look to it, and is more fitting to the music genre of our band. The font style and colours are also more fitting to the picture, and stand out well in contrast to the colours in the background. There is still a link between our music video within this picture, as we use this exact piano in the making of our video, and this picture also fits in well with our song choice due to the piano tune heard in the song.

I do still need to add on and edit extra panels of course, which I will show on my blog when done.﻿

This is our final piece of film, as we need film for the artist.
It will be in our school hall, as we need to film footage of the plaque as a symbol for the 'Hall of Fame' when our athlete wins the race. This is the same location of the footage we've had for all of that involving the artist.
The artist himself may not actually be in the footage, depending on what looks more effective, but the main focus is on the plaque within the hall; the plaque we will film has been used in our previous shots, with the artist staring up at it as somewhat of an inspiration. This final piece of footage will highlight how he has been striving to reach the 'Hall of Fame', and how his hard-work helps him achieve hgis goal.
I will be cameraman, and will take still footage of the plaque, before we edit the name 'BEN AMATRUDA' (name of the athlete) onto it under the names already up there, to signify the achievement the athlete has accomplished.

This Questionnaire went out to 14 people (between the ages of 18-25); this is how they were answered:

1. How well do you think the sports narrative conforms to the music video?

A lot okay not a lot not at all

2. How well do you think the colour contrast works?

A lot okay not a lot not at all

3.Do you like the way the role Harry (the personal trainer) is played?

A lot okay not a lot not at all

4. Do you think that the narrative is realistic?

Yes maybe no

5. How easy to understand narrative without the missing clips?

A lot okay not a lot not at all

6. How much does this music video inspire you?

A lot okay not a lot not at all

7.How well do you understand the concept of the plaque?

A lot okay not a lot not at all

Can you tell me what you thought worked well in this draft?

"I really enjoyed the contrast between the colours""The rappid cutting bit was awesome""I like the bit where your character switches between light and dark."

"The bit where the personal trainer chases you with a brick"

"The introduction, piano bit with the sit ups works very well."

"The serious faces at the start of the race"

"The difference in colour works very well"

"You playing the piano was Very cool"

"My favorite part was the introduction"

"The bit where you are doing sit ups and press ups"

"All of it"

"The different angles when the characters are running"

"The bit on the stage"

"The black and white works really well"

"The plaque bit is really interesting"

The phrases which are highlighted, come under two categories of the rapid cutting/introduction and the color contrast, which is exciting, as these were the ideas which we thought were original. As a result we believe that it would be significant to keep these sections of the music video, as our target audience respond to them significantly.

And then can you tell me what improvements you think could be made?

"The part with the personal trainer chasing you with the brick is unrealistic"

"The missing clip makes it hard to understand"

"Make the narrative clearer"

"Not much :)"

"Some of the running scenes do not look realistic"Different clips of the artist""Get rid of the brick"

"The bit on the stage is to cheesy"

"Some of the running techniques"

"Make it more understandable""the artist part is repetitive"

"Maybe all should be in dark lighting"

"The brick scene"

"More of the artist"

All these highlights phrases come under three categories of the brick scene, repetitive footage of the artist and make the narrative clearer, so as a response we are going to:
